La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
One sacred holy night, shepherds in their fields
startled by angels cry, brightest light
A song like never heard and glory all around
Heavenly symphony, hear the sound
God has come, we are on holy ground
Holy night, holy night
Your glory's shining bright upon that
Holy night in the fields of Bethlehem
The wise men traveled far guided by this Star
Majesty, mystery, Promised King
God has come, we can feel heaven here
Holy night, holy night
Your glory's shining bright upon that
Holy night in the streets of Bethlehem
Holy night, holy night
Your glory's shining bright upon that
Holy night when their eyes beheld the King
Holy night, holy night
Holy night, holy night
Holy night, holy night
Let Your glory shine on us, just like that
Holy night in the fields of Bethlehem
Holy night, holy night
Let Your glory shine on us, just like that
Holy night in the streets of Bethlehem
Just like that holy night
When their eyes beheld the King
Holy, holy, holy night
